New territory ahead.....

The last couple of days on the training schedule have been quiet, I did a Body Balance class (a mix between Thai Chi, Yoga and Pilates) followed by an hour of stretching on Tuesday. This is all suppose to be great for the core, easier to breath and fluid movements; I need all the help I can get!

Wednesday 20 miles on the bike finding a new running route, I wish I could cover the distance running as quickly as on the bike.

I'm not one to go on, but bloody hell, it's still stupidly cold.

I'm planning to do an 18 mile run either tomorrow or Saturday. I feel like a pack horse carrying water bottles, gels, additional clothes for when it's too cold, ipod to keep me sane, hat, gloves; I really am like a fully laden "Buckeroo" at the start of the game, one false move and I could loose everything!

I need to be out for about 3 hours, I really am getting into territory never known to this body. It's so much in the mind - just keep it positive and it's all 'cool and the gang' - literally (and weather conditions) speaking....
